Detect changes associated with movement using this Panasonic EKM-series PIR breakout. The passive infrared sensor watches its field of view and activates a signal when motion is detected, making it an input for automated project behavior. It does not provide specific distance readings, so output interpretation should focus on motion events.
Before you buy
